The Department of Quantitative Health Sciences (https://www.mayo.edu/research/departments-divisions/quantitative-health-sciences/overview) (QHS) at Mayo Clinic in Arizona is seeking a Bioinformatics Faculty to join our team!

The Department of Quantitative Health Sciences is a multidisciplinary enterprise-wide department with approximately 70 doctoral level and more than 400 allied health staff members, located in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona; Jacksonville, Florida; and Rochester, Minnesota, who are dedicated to improving patient care through medical research. Its mission is to grow and enable outstanding leaders in research, provide international leadership in specialties related to our expertise, provide cutting edge education to Mayo Clinic colleagues, serve as a resource for knowledge and data, and provide unique services that support the mission of Mayo Clinic. The Department consists of the Division of Epidemiology, the Division of Clinical Trials and Biostatistics, the Division of Computational Biology, and the Section of Biomedical Ethics.

The Division of Computational Biology (https://www.mayo.edu/research/departments-divisions/computational-biology/overview) leads research in statistical genomics, bioinformatics and computational biology, developing and applying innovative analytical techniques for biomedical discovery and translational research across a range of medical conditions. Our division partners with scientists and clinicians throughout Mayo Clinic to carry out cutting-edge research to enhance the understanding of disease and improve health care.

Collaborative Scientists in the Division of Computational Biology lead study design, data acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of results, as part of multi-disciplinary teams. They are essential members of clinical, basic, and translational research programs and provide leadership in their area of expertise. They lead analytic teams consisting of bioinformaticians, biostatisticians, and statistical programmers. In addition to serving as Co-Investigators, Collaborative Scientists may also hold grants as Principal Investigators.

Key areas of research in the division encompass analysis of biological data including genomics and transcriptomics; epigenomics; proteomics; metabolomics; microbiome; and digital pathology and imaging.

Mayo Clinic is top-ranked in more specialties than any other care provider according to U.S. News & World Report. With a 73,000-person workforce, Mayo Clinic cares for more than 1.3 million people each year with serious or complex illnesses from all 50 U.S. states and 130 countries.

The unified mission at Mayo Clinic is to provide the best patient care, backed by our expertise and supported by innovation in education, research and practice, to bring hope and healing in times of need. We embrace collegial relationships among campuses (Arizona, Florida and Minnesota) allowing for best practices and innovation to help solve the most serious complex medical challenges-one patient at a time.

We support a vibrant and diverse research enterprise (https://www.mayo.edu/research/about/research-facts-funding) , with programs in basic, translational, clinical, population, and data sciences. In 2023, the institution received over $689 million in extramural research awards, supplemented with over $445 million of institutional support. Laboratories and shared resource facilities (https://www.mayo.edu/research/core-facilities/overview) are state-of-the-art, including those for biomolecular analysis, molecular development, data analytics, specimen processing, and structural testing and imaging. Mayo Clinic supports innovation and has a wealth of resources available – including an integrated health record and collaboration with top specialists.

Research teams at Mayo Clinic in Arizona (https://www.mayo.edu/research/arizona) actively investigate complex diseases and conditions with a goal of improving care for patients. As they search for answers, scientists and physicians work side by side, sharing ideas and results. Promising discoveries are moved quickly from the laboratory to clinical trials, with proven new therapies introduced to clinical practice. Areas of research focus include blood cancers, particularly multiple myeloma; metabolic and endocrine diseases, such as diabetes and obesity; bioinformatics; genomics; and aerospace medicine.

As we work together to put the needs of the patient first, we are also dedicated to our employees, investing in a highly competitive compensation package with substantial long-term institutional and departmental support for salary, personnel, equipment, and travel all designed to ensure immediate and continued success. Additional benefits for faculty at Mayo Clinic include intramural funding opportunities for research and innovation. We provide an outstanding, comprehensive benefits package (https://jobs.mayoclinic.org/benefits) that includes plenty of options for medical, dental and vision care; flexible spending accounts; life insurance; short- and long-term disability coverage; travel allowance; generous time away; and more! We are proud to be among the few U.S. companies to provide a pension benefit at no cost to employees plus you can add the Mayo 403(b) plan which features an employer match.

Phoenix (https://www.visitphoenix.com/) is the capital city of Arizona and is located in the central region of the state. It’s metropolitan area boasts almost 5 million residents in 25 cities and towns. People may know it for its year-round sun, desert beauty, and world-class resorts and golf, but as the fifth-largest city in the U.S., it also offers sophisticated urban capes, southwest culture and lots of outdoor adventure.

The "Valley of the Sun" as Phoenicians refer to it, is surrounded by mountain parks—in fact, South Mountain Park and Preserve is the largest municipal park in the U.S.—so it's easy to get out and enjoy the flora, fauna and some incredible views (and sunsets). And, although Phoenix is in the Sonoran Desert, there are six lakes in close proximity where water lovers can kayak, paddleboard, Jetski, waterski, boat, fish or just lounge on the shore.

Over the next several years, Mayo Clinic (https://college.mayo.edu/campus-and-community/arizona/) is making significant investments in both the physical and technological future of health care, through doubling the size of the Mayo Clinic campus in Phoenix, inclusive of practice, education, and research activities.

Scottsdale (https://www.experiencescottsdale.com/) frequently earns praise as a highly desirable place to live. The city's more than 200,000 residents enjoy a vibrant mix of culinary hot spots, arts and entertainment, professional and collegiate sports teams, and community resources. The region's desert climate promotes an outdoor lifestyle with a full complement of sports and recreation.
